I think my disgusting pleasure is more like stealing ice cream right from the pint. But good ice cream (like Jeni’s, or green tea, or something).
Really? Not even a spoonful of PB with chocolate chips? Or a spoonful of Nutella with whipped cream? Or a wheel of Brie? A bag of chips? A microwave s’more? If none of this appeals to you, then I suspect you are a super skinny health freak but you just won’t admit it.
Of the things you listed, I could enjoy the occasional spread of Nutella (but on good quality bakery bread, not with whipped cream). And good quality cheese is delicious, to include some types of Brie. I also have a weakness for carbs. Micheles granola is a nice snack. I also enjoy good quality pizza and pasta (not stouffers and Kraft, as listed in this thread!!!). And I love Trader Joe’s peanut butter cups (but would find chocolate chips mixed into a tub of peanut butter too inferior). But I stand by my assertion that 99.9% of what’s in this thread is revolting.
Unfortunately, at almost 160 pounds I’m not a skinny health freak. I enjoy food way too much. But good food. Not disgusting, processed crap.
That’s kind of the point of the thread. I’m the Stouffers lasagna poster. I’m mostly a real food, limit processed items, cook from scratch person but…. Maybe twice a year when I’m not cooking for the family, I’m home alone with something fun on Netflix like Bridgerton, I crave the Stouffers lasagna, both for its ease and the taste profile that must remind me of my childhood (where again, it was babysitter night food - my mom is actually a really good cook)

I mix a can of sardines or other canned fish with hot sauce and mayo and eat on crackers. Sometimes I add capers lol.
For all of you who hide these from your spouses, I have a question. If he/she totally embraced your food and ate it with you or ate something equally "disgusting," would you like that? I think I would be grossed out by my spouse lol so the secrecy must be part of the allure.
For me it’s alone because I don’t want to share. I don’t want to cook dinner, and I don’t want to be bothered.
I posted a “calorie bomb”, but the truth is I haven’t been alone in the evening in years now. Maybe 2018 when my husband took the kids to visit his parents alone? So it’s not even an annual indulgence, but it is a favorite that I’ve enjoyed maybe five times, completely alone, with my trash tv.

Related, I like making mac and cheese using one box of pasta but two packets of the powder. Extra salty and cheesy.
You can buy the powder in a shaker!

I make this tart cherry thing with phyllo dough. I can eat three whole "pie" rolls big as half the baguette.

She is 100% a health freak. The giveaway? “Calorie bombs.” Normal people don’t talk like that. I bet she calls grapes “sugar bombs” too.
I brought raisins as the snack for GS once and a mom freaked out. She called them sugar bombs and started confiscating them from kids.

I like to soften a big hunk of kerrygold in the microwave and mix it with powdered sugar, a sprinkle of sea salt, and then my flavoring of choice. Sometimes a citrus juice, or a spoonful of jam, cocoa and cinnamon, cream cheese and vanilla if I'm feeling extra gross. A giant serving of buttercream.
Frosting isn’t my vice of choice, but this is ingenious. Might have to try it!

I know I'm courting salmonella
When I was a kid, my mom gave us the little dough bits she cut off when shaping the pie into the pie pan. We would sprinkle them with sugar and cinnamon and eat raw. Yum!

Almonds, peanuts, any nut, especially flavored nuts, cheddar/caramel popcorn, microwave popcorn, caramel m&m’s. I’m sure there is more. It’s sad.

You're doing it wrong. Wonderbread and iceberg lettuce require Miracle Whip!
